THE HOUSE JOURNAL CLERK.
A Change Made Which Has
Caused Considerable Comment.

"A Ch&nge MADE W men Has
Caused Considerable Comment.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The principal
topic of conversation this morning
among members on the floor of the
house was the change made last even
ing by Clerk Clark in the Office of jour
nal clerk. John c. Robertson, who was
appointed to succeed Mr.. Smith as Jour-
nal clerk, took the oath of office this
morning and after consultation with
his predecessor began at once the dis
charge of his duties. He is from In
dianapOliS, was formerly a judge of the
Indiana court and held for a time the
position of journal clerk to the state
senate. 1t is rumOred that Mr.. Smith
will make fight for reinstatement and
that a Michigan Democratic member
will offer resolution providing for an
inquiry into the vague statements that
have been made to the effect that the
change was the result of a promise
by the Indiana Democrats to sup
port the clerk of the house in his
candidacy for reelection if the office of
journal clerk was given to an Indiana
man, and Don NJ. Dickinson had de-
manded Smiths removal. When Mr.
Clark, the clerk of the house. was
spoken to on the subject this morning
he declared positively that Mr.. Dickin-
son had not communicated in any way
with him in regard to the matter. He
had intended to make the charge last
session. he said, but had deferred action
for various reasons. No member of the
Indiana delegation had been consulted
upon the appointment or knew of his
Intention to make charge, save Repre-
sentative Matson. who had been re-
qtlested to furnish some information
concerning Mr.. RobertsOn's record. Mr..
Clark denied in the strongest terms that
there had been any understanding be-
tween himself and the Indiana delega-
ton relative to his candidacy for the Of
flee of clerk. In all these statements he
was corrOborated by Representative
Holman and other Indiana Democratic
representatives.

1876 and 1850. He was on terms of
friendship with that distinguished man.
Mr.. Dickinson was delegate at large to
the convention of 1880, and chairman of
the Michigan delegation. Since 1884 he
has represented Michigan on the ma
tional committee. Mr.. Dickinson has
constantly refused the use of his name
as candidate for congress or for any
other office. The only public position
he ever held was that of visitor to the
United States naval academy, the ex-
penseS and emOluments of which he de-
voted to that institution. Mr.. Dickin-
son is man calculated to make an emf
nently efficient cabinet officer.

PROSPERITY AT DUPUYER.

Dupuyer is in a thriving condition. The
entire creek is thickly dotted with cattle,
sheep and horse ranches, and a more
prosperous settlement cannot be found in
the territory. Dupuyer is the natural cen
ter of trade for this outlying district and
is at the present enjoying considerable of
a boom. The immense coal fields lying
tributary to Dupuyer are exciting consid-
cradle attention. The coal is of excellent
quality and burns like the celebrated an
thracite of Pennsylvania. Charles MeIn-
tire, a mining expert, has surveyed this
coal district and prepared a map showing
the different veins. At Dupuyer are
found a general merchandise store, two
saloons, a restaurant, lodging house, livery
stable and several other buildings well
put together. The annual trading done
here would surprise those unacquainted

have been built, cabins erected, grain and
vegetables produced, all by the unassisted
efforts of these same Indians. One-quar-

been granted by the Indian bureau, by the
efforts of major Baldwin. The Indians

great credit. on major Baldwin and his

FESTIVAL AT CHOTEAu.
Returning, a stop was made at Choteau
to witness the Thanksgiving exercises. A
memorial service by the Odd Fellows, fol-
lowed by horse races and other sports
ended the day. The ball under the au-
spices of the Choteau social club, was a
complete success. Choteau people know
how to enjoy themselves and they make a
stranger feel at home. Their hearts are
Warln,and they are ave ready to extend
the right hand of fellowship to all who
within their gates. The ladies gave
a supper for the purpose of raising a fund
to build a church, wherein all denomina-I
tons might worship. One hundred and
fifty dollars was realized, which will give
the worthy object quite a start.
Closer business relations should be es-
tablished between Great Falls and all
northern Montana. An immense volume
of business would thereby be diverted in
our direction. Our northern neighbors
are willing and anxious to trade with us
and only ask to he met half way. A talk
with prominent sheep and cattlemen in
Choteau, Dupuyer and all through that
country, developes the fact that Great
Falls will be their shipping and purchas-
ing point next spring. They ask no fa-
vors, but simply say, agive US a show and

finest grazing lands ill the territory. Fine,
rolling prairie and stretches of benchland
greet the eye on every side; while herds
of cattle and bands Of sheep grazing here
and there make quite a pastoral scene.
Numerous creeks of elear, crystal water
flow through this section, and transform
what would otherwise be an arid region,
into one of plenty. The belts of timber
bordering these streams diversity the
scenery and bring rest to the eye after
gazing on great stretches Of rolling prai-
RE lands.
There are quite a number of ranches
scattered along the road, bearing fruitful
evidence of thriftiness and industry.
Strong, substantial buildings they are too,
being built with an eye to comfort and
convenience, and surrounded by unbroken
lines Of fences.
At Bynumss, where your correspondent
stopped for dinner, one of the neatest and

Its knotted branches stand out in bold

THE INDIAN AGENCY.

InerR are G.0UU Indians on this
vast reservation which embraces 30. OOO.-
900 acres of land. By the ratification of
the treaty made with these Indians, how
ever, thousands of acres will be thrown
open to settlement next spring. Much
has been said regarding the steps taken
to %civilize poor Lo, and teach him to dis
card the bow and arrow and gun for the
plough and turn his attention to more
peaceful pursuits. While it may be i'm
possible to bring the Indian up to the
standard now enjoyed by the white man,
yet the efforts already made are certainly
deserving of some credit. Major Baldwin
has earnestly striven to discharge the du-
ties imposed upon him; and he has GER
tainly earned the success that followed.
A school and church have been establish
ed for the Indian and halfbreed children
The school has an average daily attend
nice of Sc. The elementary branches are
taught and the scholars show a surprising
amount of intelligence. Cards of merit
are issued and other incentives given to
urge the children forward in their studies.

the fact that Dupuyer is their nearest

resources and bringing wealth to all whc
